Suggested tip for takeout starting at 15%

[Anonymous]

Anyone else bothered by this? It’s more and more common in DC to have a suggested tip at the register of 15 to 25% for carry out.

This really bothers me. It’s carry out, the tip should not be close to what you leave in a sit down restaurant. The tips and fees and higher pricing are out of hand, l eat out a few times a week but am seriously considering cutting back.

No it's fine. Restaurants won't survive otherwise. If they are doing takeout they are not buying alcohol, which is how a lot of places make money

- skip tip and add a dollar to tip jar or set on counter
- select custom tip and enter whatever you want
- skip tip entirely
or lastly
- throw your hamburger against the wall and shoot up the place ala Falling Down

If they cannot survive that's on them.

My standard is 10% on take out.

Not bothered at all. I don't tip on takeout.

Restaurants make a lot more on soft drinks.

Not bothered at all. Happy to tip well, including on takeout. Places that do it well, with packaging, QC, etc are performing a service I appreciate. Even if they aren’t I’m happy to tip 20%-30% for delivery (on top of the absurd fees) to help make these jobs sustainable and keep places open.

I do not, however, like paying absurd levels of taxes.

Let the generous and charitable among us do our thing and otherwise keep your hand out of my pocket.

Well we’re not all Richie Rich, and even if we are, may object to “tip creep” on principle.

If they want to forgo a $100 order for a $15 tip that’s their decision.

I’ll tip a couple $ in cash if it’s a regular restaurant with eat in dining whete I would normally tip.
I’m not tipping at Panera for example.
